With 23 years between my two children, I entered a different world in 1995 when my second child was born. As an old-schooled mom, I wasn’t familiar and grew terribly confused by the aggressive parenting style I encountered the second time around. But I continued raising my second…..
“I am beginning to suspect all elaborate & special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon supposition that every child is an idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself…” ‒Helen Keller Those with a formal higher education who have earned degrees worked…..
Have you taken notice to the pleasure and the strain in writing words? To me, the pleasure to connect in the deepest part of your soul with another seems like the closest thing to God. And it’s so important to be clear when choosing words so that others can understand what we feel. Writing a book and blogging have become within reach of most everyone these days. But as an author, I confess that I hesitate to publish even a…..
I have been very interested in time travel stories and those about life after death, and mysterious, phenomenal happenings from long ago continue to echo on my mind. Since 1976, and to this day, some of my experiences and those of others that I’ve researched remain with me.

“Be remembered for what you do next.” ~ Today I Will____: Today I will…. be remembered as someone who is compassionate with the sacrifice and joy, and great responsibility that come with motherhood.

I will open up to the importance of these softer choices, and being different, and not living by today’s influences. I will highlight the wonders…..
“She took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.” -Genesis 3:6 The Power of Love My parents had been very strict, raising us with morals and values through the word of God, rather than in the ways of the world. Those values stayed with me and I still practice them as much as possible with my own children. I feel blessed that I’ve…..
With 23 years between my two children, I entered a different world in 1995 when my second child was born, of the demands and responsibilities put upon children from their own parents. Back in 1971, the over-achiever parenting style was unknown by me. However, as a new old-schooled mom, I was unfamiliar and terribly confused with the aggressive parenting style that I continued to offer my second child similar choices as my first, which initially came from my mother’s devout…..
Seeing Through God’s Eyes No matter how faithful we may be, we cannot always see the full picture or understand why things are happening as they are. We may feel frustrated that our dreams and visions have been postponed by the immediate needs around us, but once we are able to expand our spiritual awareness, we become better able to see what has been there all along: God’s vision for us and those around us. As we stretch…..
